Comet ISON: 5 Thing You NEED to know!

1. It currently sets early in the evening and is poorly placed for viewing, especially given its dim magnitude :(.
2. Since it is currently dimmer than magnitude 14, you need a decent astrophotography rig to see it; it is not readily visible even with the aid of a moderate size telescope.
3. It will be high enough in the early morning sky to view it sometime in September while it is still approaching perihelion. At the same time it should start outgassing its water ice stores and show a corresponding increase in brightness.
4. It reaches perihelion on November 28th. Earlier that month it will cease to be visible in the pre-dawn hours as it dives towards the sun.
5. So far ISON has not brightened as much as it was originally projected to. It may not be as significant of a comet as originally hoped, in fact there is a chance it may not even survive perihelion. Once it starts outgassing from its water ice stores it could buck the current trend and go on to reach the same magnitude as the moon at perihelion, which is also when it will be next to the sun in the sky. Only time will tell.

Thats no comet... Its a piloted craft. Just like Elenin. Run. Run. Run everybody
 

Napolitano is the first woman to serve as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, in office from 2009 to 2013. Napolitano, a member of the Democratic Party, served in the administration of President Barack Obama. Previously, she was the 21st Governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009. She was Arizona's third female governor, and the first woman to win re-election. Prior to her election as Governor, she served as Attorney General of Arizona from 1999 to 2002. Napolitano is the 1977 Truman Scholar from New Mexico. Napolitano is the fourth person (including an acting Secretary) to serve as Secretary of Homeland Security, a post that was created after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Forbes ranked her as the world's ninth most powerful woman in 2012

COMET ISON: Comet ISON is still more than two months away from its spectacular close encounter with the sun. Amateur astronomers aren't waiting. The brightening comet has become a good target for backyard telescopes in the pre-dawn sky and pictures of the comet are pouring in. Last night, Chris Schur captured this image from his home observatory in Payson, Arizona: "This 25 minute exposure shows the comet through a 12 inch telescope," says Schur. "The image has sharp focus, perfect tracking and the star trails are unbroken and smooth. A nearby star added to the nice composition."

At the moment, ISON is too dim for the naked eye--"I estimate the comet's magnitude to be +12.5," says Schur--but it is on track to become an impressive sungrazer. For comparison, Comet ISON is brighter than Comet Lovejoy was in 2011 at a similar distance from the sun. The fact that Comet Lovejoy turned into a spectacular sungrazer bodes well for the performance of Comet ISON.

Observers of Comet ISON will notice that it is in the same part of the sky as Mars. The comet will make a close approach to the Red Planet on October 1st, and during that time Mars satellites will be taking ISON's picture at point blank range. Those images will likely rival or improve upon the view from Earth.

Hey Bob that is the weirdest object/image I've ever seen...I thought comets were circular or at least oval shaped.  What is a "parallelex factor?"

Speaking as a Lord of the Galactic Federation of Lies, I'd like to add that Earthlings are so full of themselves that they seem to forget that hardly anything flying around in view of the occupants of this planet, is of significance to their well being.

Humans are not the only species that make a mockery of the God-given 'free will' ability.

There's a war going on in space - as above, so below - but destroying planet Earth is not in anyone's interest.

Although factious fiction, the content of this 'Little Green Guy Book' -

The Powers That Be will never achieve their ultimate goal - becoming The Power That Is - because of their lack of trust in others as much as in themselves.

It's the philosophy that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.

We depend on each other - even if we dislike each other.

Trusting yourself is no guaranty you can trust another - chemistry is.

 

Jenetta,
That is truly a very strange comet if it is that. I think it looks like an huge UFO that is really hauling ass....2,000,000 MPH.
lol

 chemistry or not, but imho humans first should be learn who they are, there are some who are looking at the sky for those who will tell them or will bring mana to them.  there are some who still has reptilian dragon consciousness.  it seems nobody knows how to be human, how to behave as human, how to be human first. how  to not harm others.  violence still exists on the planet. the education needs to be done from the core. there is a chance to remind them. there is. however many with a lot of saliva in the mouth to eat other living beings. consciousness dictation. no compassion to other living beings-consciousness. education needs to done.  violence is not acceptable and nonviolence should be taught first.  before any new or old philosophy. only purification process will enable to be revealed truth little by little. truth needs to be restored, I would say truthfulness.  to control mind what we believe or share nonsense and to control tongue what we speak or eat is good start. all mind concoctions or speculations has no value. cheers

Never liked rubber lips. But ill take that over a crappy disinformational crappy youtube video about harmless comets (sorry, piloted crafts or whatever) any day of the week . Who pays these assholes. Oh i know.
 

The operative word under the first posted youtube video was "Entertaining". My husband had a good laugh over it. Especially number 5.

How many times do we see various warnings from various folks who "believe" the worst is yet to be unleashed? Too often. Sometimes I think these folks putting out the youtube videos just don't have enough good things going on in their lives.

Floyd.. anyone who has hung out at GLP knows DOOM is a daily phenomena. And for some.. their cup of tea. Sometimes not that much different then when stepping onto a roller coaster for that hair-raising gut wrenching side splitting scream of terror as one sweeps down, around, over and upside down at the complete mercy of something outside of ones control. Afterwards climbing out laughing (or throwing up - depending upon one's constitution). The ride is considered both terrifying and great fun.

I don't see much difference with the earth changes either - be these events are cosmic or man made. We're all just here for the experience. The ride. Some on the roller coaster go down the steep sections with their arms high in the sky (I was one of those) and others grip the front safety bar in sheer terror (I was one of those too). These days after the latest NDE a few weeks ago, I just take each day as it comes - I enjoy each day and don't worry about the rest. In the end you will come to realize just how short life is no matter how old you are. When it's time to go.. poof. Sometimes no warning what-so-ever. It's over. The human life journey has ended.

By now you probably realize that the only thing anyone really has control over is their own attitude. Does one embrace the experience or cringe from it? Or do you just laugh like the buddha and continue your walk along side of the river bank?

I just can't get too worked up over whether this will be an "event" or not. To me it's just another experience, one way or the other.

You better give up on Paul...Carol.  His personality lately is either very sarcastic, very rude, or very insulting.  Take your pick.  Guess he thinks just because he was responsible for the forum in the beginning he can dish it out however he pleases!
Personally I'm get fed up with it.

The moment I dished it out at GLP I was instantly banned by the little fat dictator Xxxxx who owns that place.

Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me, Jenetta.

I share your sentiment Jenetta.

Interesting

Jenetta - people who do that sort of thing are only slinging the stink on themselves. If he wants to look like an idiot who am I to stop him. And don't take this personal Paul because this is my opinion on "anyone" who dishes out the crap like you do.







Back to the topic.


COMET ISON FLYBY OF MARS: Today, October 1st, Comet ISON will fly by Mars at a distance of only 0.07 AU. Red Planet satellites and rovers have a ringside seat for the flyby, and they will be snapping pictures despite a shutdown of the US government. (Apparently, Curiosity has been designated "essential personnel.") Scroll past the Magnificent Eruption for more information.

Comet ISON is heading for a Thanksgiving Day brush with the sun, but first it's going to pay a visit to Mars. In this week's ScienceCast, researchers discuss what might happen when Comet ISON meets the Red Planet.

Nothing to do with sacarasim, rudeness or insults. Rather a profound antipathy for disinformation, pseudo science and unfounded fear mongering.
I dont take it personally Carol as I hope you dont sweet pea.
Its just a forum.
